Hi! My name is John, I live in Wisconsin and have loved sirens since I was a kid. I developed a strong interest after hearing Milwaukee's sirens during some particularly spooky tornado warnings. My channel started in 2007 and I recorded sirens for a few years. Eventually life got in the way and I took a break from posting regularly.
Fast forward to 2023, I heard about Milwaukee's siren system being replaced and decided to get back out and document my old friends before they're gone. I began to realize how much I'd missed it.
Now I'm making up for lost time and enjoying this unique interest with some of the cool people I've met. Almost weekly, I head out to see sirens around Wisconsin and beyond. I'm also working hard to improve my video quality and editing. There's lots more to come, so stay tuned!

Tornado Siren vs. Birds - ACA P-50 Attack, Kenosha, WI 8/17/2024
I headed down to Kenosha with Jeff to record a P-50 in attack for their monthly test. Special thanks to Holly ( @TheSirenGeek ), for showing me this spot. It has it all: birds, cicadas, a dubiously "free" parking structure, a longer distance shot of the bird poop P-50 in downtown Kenosha, and, most importantly, absurdly beautiful acoustics! The video came out a bit shaky thanks to lots of zoom and lots of wind. The birds hated it, but I loved it. This location produced some of the best sounds I've ever heard from a siren, easily making this is one of my favorite recordings of 2024. Thank you for watching! Enjoy!

Federal Signal STH-10 Tornado Siren Test, Big Bend, WI 8/14/2024

After recording the Allertor in MKE airport at noon, I drove the Exploder southwest to Big Bend for Waukesha County's test at 2pm. This lovely yellow STH-10 leans a bit, but sounds nice. As STH's do, this one winds down for nearly as long as it runs. Not my most exciting video, nor the best quality, but i enjoyed this test a lot. Thank you for watching! Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite recordings of my entire time in this hobby. It was extremely satisfying, as I'd wanted to record this one for quite some time. I parked in the structure at General Mitchell International Airport (which was worth every penny of the $2 fee), set up on the third level and got my shot. I really enjoyed all the activity at the airport as a backdrop to this test, on this lo...

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Here's the P-50 at Baran Park in Milwaukee, recorded from about .4 miles away, hence the delayed audio. Beginning in August, I did a lot of leg work to figure out how I could get this shot from this location, and I attempted it in September, but I felt the result was unworthy of uploading. That footage and some additional insight will be included in an upcoming behind the ...

Back in 2009, I attempted to record Mequon, WI's old Donges Bay Rd Cyclone (it did not activate). In 17 years of filming sirens, I never got a Cyclone on video. As such, I decided to record this unit in Campbellsport, despite it being reverse wired and being in a difficult spot to film. It's in an alley down the middle of a residential block, with limited lines of sight that don't go through pe...

Third and final stop of my covid & autism-fueled siren excursion: the Thunderbolt 1000 on Racine City Hall. I love this thing. It still runs sorta goofy timing during attack, but sounds great otherwise - very punchy during wind down. Also, Racine's siren ambiance from this location is absolutely incredible. My dayquil was wearing off at this point, so I was glad to be done with sirens for the d...

Having scrapped my weekend plans to visit friends out of town thanks to a mild case of covid, I self-isolated, drank some Dayquil and set out by myself to go record a few sirens. My first stop of the day was the P-15 in Oakfield, WI - location of the infamous F5 tornado in 1996 (I vividly remember being 10 and watching the skies intently that night).

It was far overdue, but I finally ventured down to Kenosha County for a test. I decided that since Milwaukee's P-50s will be going bye-bye, I'd better familiarize myself with the ones to the South as they'll be my fix for ACA rotational 8/12 goodness in the future. Somers FD seemed like a good pick - not too far off the freeway and with lots of access to film. It did a decent alert and sounded ...

The second weekend in July, I decided to head out to Dodge County for a Saturday test and grab the most interesting thing I could find. That happened to be this Sentry 10V2T at the Fire Company in Brownsville, which is incidentally the first Sentry siren I've heard in person. I loved the dual tone sound, and it was quite punchy. While there, I also checked out the 2 Fedelcode Model 5s in town a...

It has come to my attention that Mayville intends to replace their entire system with rotational sirens (2001s or Equinoxes,...

Yeah those brushes are GONE lmfao
How rare are these aca hurricanes that stops the windown for 5 seconds and spins longer on the windown
@@Tiktokthebestapp Extremely rare, considering this is the last one in service anywhere.
the echoes are insane. the way the sound of a siren reflects and travels around in the land is one of my most favourite things. reminds me of how insane the wind down sounds over in Bristol for the severnside siren tests - I've got a great recording of that cool little system on my other channel
@vantaaax I just watched it, that one sounds awesome. Subbed!
@ I really appreciate that man
😮
Great video! Would love to film an STH-10 someday myself.
@@freebrickproductions Thanks! For older sirens, they're quite common. It shouldn't be too difficult to locate one.
@@RamFett Unfortunately, most of the closest ones to me have long since been removed, or are rarely, if ever, tested.
Come to Wisconsin, we have lots of them around!
Wow thats a lot of bird poop on that horn 😂
Ah yes, this one
Birds love that siren for some reason same thing happened when I recorded it back in 2019, jeez can’t believe it’s been that long might have to come back one day when I get that chance
@@warningsirensofwisconsin This one's a banger! Those echoes are incredible.
Seems like the line power is a bit on the low side.
That makes it have a really cool slow windup! I like it!!!
Those birds must’ve crapped themselves lol.
Great video! You should record Kenosha’s newly installed 2001-130 next time. A 2001 in Kenosha county is a first!
@DownToYouSirens I got it for its first test. I might upload it sooner rather than later.
@@RamFettlooking forward to seeing/hearing it!
Those birds were no match for the power of the Penetrator 50! Nice video!
Damn it scared like a whole flock of seagulls away lmfao
Nice! do you plan to record more A.C.A. P-50s in the future?
@SirenLightsInnovate Nah, I don't like them. 👎
@ Alright, what’s your favorite siren?
@SirenLightsInnovate I was joking, as you can probably tell. I love P-50s. My favorite? Basically, any ACA rotating electromechanical unit.
This STH is definitely in really good shape! Though not as fast winding as Brookfield's admittedly, Its still just as slow winding! Seriously, it truly amazes how long it takes for these STH-10's to come to a complete stop. Those choppers REALLY must be heavy! Nice video!
@zachzebra56 Thanks! Man, I've tried 3 separate times to record the Brookfield STH. Got screwed every time, lol.
@RamFett Brookfield's STH dident go off all those times? Dang I'm sorry to hear that! Strange too cause I briefly heard it one night during severe weather and tornado warnings west of me back in May.
Yeah, this goes back to 2008 when I was first recording stuff for my channel. It was winter, and they didn't test for some reason. This past summer, I tried twice, once on the 4th of July because I had off work (we called, no one was working to test them) and again in August (it started to rain lightly, so they skipped the test). I still want to get it on video before ECS lets it fail and scams Brookfield on a replacement.
@@RamFett I feel ya man. There were rumors of Brookfield replacing that STH-10 a little while ago. To everyones surprise, the replacement siren (a FS equinox) ended up replacing the 2T22 north of the STH. So I'm not too sure how long it'll be before Brookfield's STH bits the dust but I'm willing to bet that Brookfield is just gonna keep using it until it calls it quits for any reason. (Probably what happened to the 2T22)

How many allerters are there in Milwaukee WI?
@stormunbound31 Brown Deer HS, Ruby Garage, Whitefish Bay, Currie Park, Whitnall Park, and this one makes 6. South Milwaukee was replaced earlier this year. Interestingly, the Allertors have mostly outlived many of the newer Penetrator 10/15s that were designed to replace them.
@@RamFett So there's 6 of them. Wow
In addition to the ones I mentioned, there also used to be 3 more in Greenfield, one more in Wauwatosa, and possibly more before that.

Dang it i was gonna record the directo but im on the plane from Japan to Milwaukee my home town
Man, this is amazing.

Thanks, pal! This is definitely one of my favorites! Are you still in the Milwaukee area?
Awesome video of the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport ACA Allertor-125 John!
2 dollars for a shot this beautiful is definitely worth it
This is awesome! I love the airport Allertor lol
We've all spent $2 on worst deals. What a great shot!
Awesome video! The shot of the Allertor in front of the airport runway is fire!
Amazing!
It's official. You've peaked.
Thanks, man! I hope to outdo myself going forward, but this is one of my best.
Yeah I didn’t know level 3 was still open oh well my recording of it is still decent
Well, I mean this was recorded back in August. Unless you were told it was closed before August or something.
Not bad at all! You got better audio from your spot. You'll have a few months to record it again if you choose to.
peak 🔥
Beautiful cat I never knew you had a cat I have two cats myself one is 7 years old and his name is EVEREADY JUST LIKE THE BATTERY COMPANY LOGO BY ENERGIZER BRANDS and my other one is 2 years old and her name is BELLA SIERRA NAMED AFTER THE VIDEO GAME PUBLISHER SIERRA ONLINE.

The damper is closed?
There is no damper. It's wired incorrectly, causing the rotor to spin backwards (pushing less air, less resistance, so faster), which produces the higher pitch.
@ huh okay but it’s coded hence the name and also the way the housing is. The housing on this model could fit a damper in it
There is also what looks to be a solenoid box where the wire connects to the siren but I could be wrong
@NFDTornadoalarmNFDYTHELLO I don't believe it is coded. The box you're referring to is just a junction box, if I'm not mistaken. The pictures I've seen of 3 signal Cyclones, the solenoid boxes are much larger.
@ ah okay sorry about that lol thanks for the clarification
This one seems to be operating differently during attack cycle since I filmed it last. Weird to see it stop between wails and powering up fully. Wonder if that was intentional?
I know the months before this it was running really weird timing, apparently due to agastat problems. In September, I heard it from the roundback 2001, and the timing was screwed up again.
Amazing video and backdrop. Love the visual/audio delay that occurs from a distance with these. Only siren that you can film from this distance and still bites through the traffic noise. Happy Thanks giving!
@@SirensOfSEWI Thanks! The work it took to get to this spot was worth it! The wind was favorable to hear it clearly this time. The previous attempt I made in September, the siren wasn't nearly as audible.
Holy shit not bad, I was at the airport as I thought it might need once last recording before it gets replaced in the next upcoming months
I did that one in August. There *may* be a video of that one on my channel very soon. I'm really going to miss that siren in that location, it's such a cool shot.
@ you were able to record it from the parking garage? Cause I recorded it on top of my car 😂
@@warningsirensofwisconsin I did. Third floor or higher on the North side of the structure gets you a really cool shot. It only cost like 2 bucks to park for an hour.
@@RamFett well yeah I know that spot but the last time I tried it was gated off so weird
@@warningsirensofwisconsin I set up on 3, but levels 4 and 5 were blocked to vehicles. I could have just walked up, though.
seems like pleases get you somewhere

Awesome video! Happy thanksgiving
Nice one man!
Really nice video on this bad boi! This day, I got the ambience of the greenfield park P-50 plus 3 other P-50s, 3 or 4 T-128's (which went off a bit later than the ACA's) and State fair's T-135. Happy thanksgiving!
